engine lights
 
hi guys been a member a while but my first post

any who got a 09 wrx wagon mech prity stock except turbo back exhaust, had some engine lights come on this arvo.
the cruise lights constantly flashing,
vehicle dynamics control light staying on
malfunction indicator lamp staying on.

im going to go pull some fuses out now see if any gone, had a look at the owners manual and says go to a dealer immediately.

does anyone know wats going on.... sensor playing up etc???
its still running fine

cheers

Could be sensor related, best bet would be to get a scanner to see if there are any codes currently up.
Can you provide a rough idea of what area you are in, there are a number of members with scanners that would most likely be happy to help out.

Exhaust sensor, yes, it will need a tune / ecu trickery to prevent.

fos84 11-01-2013 08:17 PM

hey guys thanks for the prompt responses.... yer fuses ok
i live in beldon if you know of any guys NOR that could help out?
do you think its a good idea to keep driving it??

I'll be on duncraig tomorrow morning if you would like to meet up I'll scan it for you.

Soksta 11-01-2013 08:41 PM

Will be heading up to Nedlands first thing in the morning, consider me the backup in case Steve can't help out.

As tuna pointed out, can you clarify if a tune has been done to the vehicle?

fos84 11-01-2013 08:44 PM

Would recommend that you have a look at the [URL="http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/mechanicals/6775-perth-workshops.html"]workshops thread[/URL] and give one of the tuners a call.
They will be able to tune the vehicle correctly to suit the exhaust (well change in exhaust conditions), removing the CEL from coming up and netting you some hp/torque gains.

Yeh, forget pulling fuses. You need a tune. Failing that, put the stock dump pipe on it and run a cat-back only.

Still keen to meet the mrs. though.
